Tomorrow - Terrance Simien & the

well-traveled, Zydeco Experience band, Terrance has become one of the most
respected and accomplished artists in American roots music today. Terrance creates a hypnotic blend of New
Orleans funk-reggae-flavored-soulful-American-zydeco-roots music that beckons
you to your feet and into the groove. He
has found a seamless and artful way to deliver his eclectic music as a
relevant, evolving artist who is clearly rooted in Creole tradition. Well known for his legendary live
performances, he also helped changed the path of success for his genre by
introducing complex vocal harmonies, diverse repertoire and carefully crafted
high quality recordings. $15. Children are free. Bring your own chair.

Funny Poop

An explorer in the
deepest Amazon suddenly finds himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of
natives. Upon surveying the situation,
he says quietly to himself, "Oh God, I'm f--ked.”
There is a ray of light from heaven and a voice booms out:
"No you are NOT f--ked. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the
head of the chief standing in front of you."
So the explorer picks up the stone and proceeds to bash the
living shit out of the chief.
As
he stands above the lifeless body, breathing heavily and surrounded by 100
natives with a look of shock on their faces, God's voice booms out again:
"Okay . . . NOW you're f--ked."
